Lagy Gaga Plays Soccer in Rio And Orders Free Pizza For All

Lady gaga is in Rio for a show. She played a bit of soccer today and doned a Brazilian squad jersey.

"Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, is often praised for doting on her many fans and it was no different on Thursday. Concerned with the welfare of those waiting below her hotel balcony – particularly overnight – the star decided to take action. She ordered pizza to be delivered to the throng of fans and informed them about it via her Twitter page".

Supreme Fun Soccer October 27.

Superb game and a super day today, once again. Many thanks to the wonderful people who come week after week to have fun, and appreciate the effort I put in in organizing these activities. It is a lot of work but it's all worth it when people, specially kids, come and play (and leave their couches and TVs, and iPods, and video games behind!).

This was arguably the most fun coach had all year long, in spite of being in severe pain (MRI coming). I - we - had never screamed and run so much. The rain never came (how can they get the weather forecast so wrong?), just a beautiful extremely fine soft mist at times, with gorgeous fall colors all around. Amazing warm temperatures for late in October, great for soccer, with some players in shorts and t-shirts. Off went the jackets after a few minutes.

Two matches were played today, with a plentiful show of goals: 10-4 for the grown-ups with little kids vs Fulminante boys, and then 2-2 mixing players up, 18 goals in total, non-stop action, running, and laughing. Two players scored 5 goals (including the coach :-).

Huge thanks to the players: you are the most dedicated, the most fun, the best. By coming you really show that you appreciate what we do. It is all free, but it's worth a lot, so your presence is much appreciated. The best things in life are free (and simple!).

Thoroughly enjoyable today! :-)

 Stunningly gorgeous colours, spectacular!
Shooting practice.

Gorgeous fall colours: green grass, read and yellow trees, warm and misty, amazingly beautiful.

Corker kick!

Soccer Saturday 3:45PM

Soccer is on Saturday rain or shine. Please contact coach for details and to confirm if you have not already done so. /3:45PM, right on the rain gap (what rain??, there is no rain!).


Don't let a little mist deter you, it's just water and you won't melt unless you are made of sugar (and the kids love it).

Location: The Ontario Soccer Association has been helping us with the location BTW, many thanks to them, particularly for this weekend when the weather was so threatening (rain, what rain??). Pls. check confirmation email.

Record Warm October 26

Record warm today, perfect for a long run on shorts and t-shirt. An interesting course today with a different perspective:


(Had only been on that side of the lighthouse for Canada Day's fireworks).

Triple loop on the light house too.


This was followed by a Brazilian picanha barbeque to recover the 710 calories and have energy for soccer.
